Welcome to Saskatchewan!
The Saskatchewan members of Holstein Canada take pride in hosting the 2020 Holstein Convention and
Annual General Meeting. In planning the 2020 Convention, the committee considered many ideas to ensure
visitors take home a taste of Saskatchewan. This year, the festivities will begin in Saskatoon, with an ice
breaker Wednesday evening, followed by farm tours to Regina, and a show, all culminating with the AGM
and Master Breeder Awards. Showcasing top of the line Holstein cows and dairy operations will present
participants with insight into dairying on the prairies. The tours and experiencing Saskatchewan produced
food and drink will provide a taste of life as a flatlander.
We look forward to seeing you in our province. Saskatchewan has hosted two previous conventions, the
first in 1992 and again in 2005. The industry has evolved to fewer and larger farms, as it has throughout the
world. This is an exciting time, many of the farms have transitioned to the next generation and you will have
the opportunity to meet the current stewards of the industry.
See you in April 2020!
Keith Flaman,
Chairman, 2020 National Holstein Convention
